Subject: [PATCH V2 1/6] arm64: LLVMLinux: Add current_stack_pointer() for arm64
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 21:29:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1409113774-3172-2-git-send-email-behanw@converseincode.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1409113774-3172-1-git-send-email-behanw@converseincode.com>

From: Behan Webster <behanw@converseincode.com>

Define a global named register for current_stack_pointer. The use of this new
variable guarantees that both gcc and clang can access this register in C code.
